Sedition and treason are absolutely not free speech.

And while much may be considered parody/satire, any *bona fide* suborning or solicitation to murder/assassinate is not a conscionable exercise by the moral people to which the Constitution was intended to apply, nor should it be *tolerated*.

If KOS is organizing an armed insurrection against the United States or they are helping a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure America that would not be covered under free speech and would change my position - we can prosecute those trying to overthrow the government by force -sanctions should be the least of their worries.

That said, Americans must be given wide latitude to criticize their government. It is our right and, ironically, one of the strengths of the country.

Its also worth remembering the Pelosis and McCain’s of the world trying to shut down conservative radio, blogs and message boards - we need to be on guard against such efforts.
